How i got myself into 'anime'

I used to be one of those guys which used to post 'Anime is shit' and 'Anime is for furry faggots' type of comments.
But after some time I though... 'Is anime really that bad? I never tried it, so I'm not 100% allowed to hate it.'

Summer, 2016.
After browsing endless Steam Community posts about how anime is shit, I decided to try and see if it's really that bad like other's say. Also my PC broke in Summer so I was left with my tablet which stopped working after some time.

I created a post in Off-topic. A post which would suggest me anime because I want to 'give it a shot'. My Steam Profile was something like this but it had Kashima there instead of Hifumi.
Obviously, some posts were useless shitposts like 'Cory in the house', 'boku no pico' etc. other recommended me Ecchi and finally some normal people which gave me real recommendation.

One of these recommendations were: Cowboy bepop, Nichijou, K-on! etc. etc.
If you haven't guessed by now, I went with Nichijou since he said it's a great anime for 'beginners' to anime.
Alright, i researched if he didn't recommend me hentai. Nope.
'Where do I watch it?' - me trying to find where to watch it. That's where I spammed my friend on Steam. He recommended me a streaming site.
Cool beans, let's get right into it. First episode, second, third and... last episode! I never laughed so hard in my life and kudos to him for recommending me this masterpiece.
Nichijou was my first anime and I don't regret watching it. It stayed in my memory and I still remember it's ending.

Then I went with Angel Beats! Well... 'Comedy' tag doesn't apply here. It's depressing as hell but It's my second favorite anime. Why? It played strong role on my feels. I never cried while watching your typical 'The Walking Dead' or random romance/drama films. Yes, I cried waterfall at the end and I'm not scared to admit it.

Third one: Ecchi about a zombie boy which can change into magical fairy [Which made me cringe] (Kore wa zombie desu ka?)
Fourth one was K-on! Another anime I abolutely love!

And... that's basically how I got into anime. I used to hate it but now I absolutely love to watch it when I'm sad.
Question to you: What was your first anime you watched? Mine personally was Pokemon but I don't count it.

My first anime was Dbz/yugioh/beyblade/sailormoon, at the time i didnt even know that they were called anime xD. Wikipedia said that dbz aired in the Netherlands since 2000, and i know that ive watcht it since its dutch air date so i was around 5-6 when i started watching anime :P :D

Edit: Forgot Pokemon and Digimon lel

@riyaz (OT as hell) every time I see your profile pic I remember I want to play fucking P5 already! The moment I move to a bigger apartment I am getting a PS4 for the game (for now it is so cramped I can't even fit a PS4, that bad).

@sarkwalvein ah, too bad that your apartment is cramped. P5 is a great game, taking some time off from it though, already completed it 2 times :P

@Felek666 I started myself at P4G on the Vita after watching the Persona 4 anime, absolutely worth it.

I think I tried a persona game.. I just remember like a half hour of unskipable cutscenes before turning off and never touching it again.

Early 1990s reruns of Superbook: Bible Stories and The Flying House. They aired on some evangelical channel in Ohio.

"Flying House" that name reminds me of something.... nvm i mistook it for something else which i can't find to today...

Not that smileyhead. It was a anime about a flying house on ballons or something. It had a girl protagonist and focused on relaxing theme...
Why I can't I find it D:

@WeedZ Ugh, unskippable cutscenes. Everyone hates them.

@plasturion You should really watch it. Anime itself can make you cry so :)

Other than Naruto and Pokémon, my first anime was Eden of the East or Chobits.
